Eve knocked on nto's little bachelorette flat and stop impatiently tapping her foot.
it was two o'clock in the afternoon and she had decided to waste her much appreciated time and sort the issue with nto out.
She had a day off and wd have loved to stay home, sip on a sweet rose in thick socks, a warm blanket and music.
It was getting colder by the minute, by the looks of things, the coming winter would be hectic.
nto opened the door in a flimsy negligee and a smile.
'hey you' she said cheerfully.
Eve ignored her and stepped around into the warm exterior, it was threatening to rain.
'the weather is beautiful, isn't it?' she said, following eve inside, unaffected by the rude gesture.
Eve granted a reply and stood in the tiny lounge.
'what is it nto?' she tried to look into the woman's eyes and understand what was driving this engine.
'would you like some wine?' nto said instead.
'i have an orange river cellars nicely chilled....it's cheap but so accommodating to the palate'.
''stop beating about the bush and tell me why am here nto'.
'ok,be like that', just then she slipped her little negligee off,'i want you...'
Slowly she walked to her,a sweet little smile playing on her lips,
But there was also an almost childlike fear in her eyes.
Eve sighed.
'don't do this nto...please'
'i love you eve, I don't know how it happened...you are all I think abt'
'but you knew abt dana, you knew nothing cd happen between us'.
'i guess my heart never paid heed..'
'i can't do this nto, we might have had our differences with dana but I love her and she's the one I want to be with, I thought you understood that.'
'i can't just not feel, what am I supposed to do about all these feelings? You played with my feelings, made me thin you felt the same way,' tears were now trickling her brown cheeks.
Relentlessly, they fell quicker and quicker.
'please don't cry...am sorry, I just thought we both understood what was going on...'
'please make love to Me...' she had crossed the distance between them and now held eve's arm pitifully,
Eve felt as trapped as a mouse in a cage.

trouble looms.
'we need to talk' nto whined from the other side of the phone.
eve rolled her eyes and sighed inaudibly,obviously nto wasn't letting things go so easy.
'talk about what nto?' eve didn't want to give off her frustration.
'about us...'
'there's no 'us' nto, you know that'.
'please don't say that eve...we were good together,i know you felt it too'.
Eve felt a wave of panic creep up her spine,nto seemed set for a fight and eve didn't possess the energy.
She wished she could sleep and wake up to find that she'd been dreaming.
'i thought we both understood...'
'understood what eve? How is one supposed to understand when their heart is on the line?'
Nto was now sounding squeaky with panic and an uncomfortable naunce of psychosis.
'where do you want to meet?' there was obviously no way of getting out of this,she would meet nto and make it very clear, eve's resolve was evident in the set of her jaw as her thoughts roamed frantically.
'i knew you'd see things my way,'nto sounded resolutely cheerful.
'come to my place friday evening,'she continued.
'can't we meet anywhere else?'
'are you scared of little 'ol me?,i don't bite you know,'What was meant to sound playful had menacing undertones.
Eve felt hopeless,
'ok,i'll be there,' she hang up soon after and felt trapped.
how had she let this happen,and what would happen if dana found out!

Severed ties
'we have to end this nto...'
They sat by the pond at the park,nto threw some bread crumbs to the little ducklings impatiently quacking at the edge of the pond and collected her thoughts quietly.
'why?' she finally asked,the panic she felt only slightly present in her voice.
'dana suspects...'Eve was feeling very uneasy,something told her this wasn't going to be as cut and dry as she had hoped.
'can't we just be more careful?' there was a plea in nto's voice and eve hoped that she wdn't beg,nothing was more pathetic than a jilted lover who begged.
She took a deep breath.
'no...we can't,i feel terrible as it is lying to dana this way,let's just both go back to our respective partners and close this chapter,ok?'
'it's not that simple eve',she said still looking at the pond,her gaze centered on a nonexistent object that she felt she needed to keep in her eye's view or she'd scream.
'what do you mean?' it was eve's turn to panic now,this had been a little fling and she'd hoped they both understood that,obviously someone hadn't gotten the memo.
'i am in love with you...i love you..i have fallen for you...,see how complicated it all becomes for me?' nto said in a gentle yet firm tone,'see how impossible it is for me to simply forget about THIS and close the chapter?' she continued,every word setting eve's heart a pace,All she could think was how did she get herself in this rut.

Suspicious minds
'Babe...' the tone of dana's voice made eve sit up straight in bed.
'yes'.
'what's the deal with nto?' her question sounded nonchalant but eve wasn't fooled.
'what do you mean?' she took the lotion dana passed over to her and rubbing some into her hands,massaged it onto dana's bare back.
'mmmh',dana purred,'i think she likes you',she continued in the same tone of voice.
'you do?' eve swallowed hard,trying to hide how freaked out she was.
'whatever gave you that idea',she now massaged dana's shoulder blades.
'call it intuition...i actually think it's more than that,i think she is hopelessly in love with you', dana finished and turned around,looking
directly into eve's eyes,
Eve reached over and brushed a few locks off her face.
'i think you are seeing things',she smiled.
'oh come on,don't tell me you haven't noticed!',dana was now searching eve's face.
'ok..fine,i suspected she had the tiniest crush on me but love,baby? nah!'.
'iv never been wrong and i can smell a woman in love a mile away...'
'supposing she was or did like me,it's her problem right,i can't possibly help that..' eve wanted this topic closed but didn't want to get dana anymore suspicious so she played
along.
'hmmm,true...do you feel anything for her?'
The question was so unexpected that eve gasped softly.
'babe!'
'well?' dana wasn't letting it go.
Eve held her face gently between her palms,' dana...you are the only woman for me...don't you know that?'
Dana noticed that eve hadn't answered her question and thoughtfully leaned over and kissed her partner.
All Eve could think about was that the thing with nto had to end asap.
'yes'.
'what's the deal with nto?' her question sounded nonchalant but eve wasn't fooled.

Taking chances
Eve daring antics taken to a higher level,how long can she keep this up without it biting back...
Taking chances
Eve stepped into the small bathroom to wash her hands,she had been busy at the braai the entire evening and all was ready to eat.
music played loudly in the lounge,as everyone drank and talked at the top of their voices,wanting to be heard yet not listening to one another, it was a good evening.
Afew minutes later,nto opened the door,
'oh...am sorry,thought no one was in here'.
'it's ok,i'll just be afew seconds'.
But nto got in anyway.
They exchanged a meaningful look and eve put her finger to her lips,indicating for her not to make a sound.
They kissed,stolen and sweet and oh so dangerous seeing as dana was a few feet away.
Eve slipped out alittle while later, guilt written all over her face and was glad that they were all too engrossed in the talking to notice her.
She reached for her glass of wine and joined dana on the floor.
'having a good time?' dana asked innocently.
'mmmh-uh',eve granted and swallowed hard.
'i still don't know to what i owe this party in my honour though'
'yes, we all are alittle curious dana, what's the occasion?' nto put in, she stop by the threshold
.
'can't i just spoil my baby without my motives being questioned?' Dana said,playfully lacing her fingers through eve's.
eve looked unconvinced so dana continued.
'i just wanted to thank you for being the wonderful person that you are, so sweet,forgiving,understanding...'
'oooooh...thanks babe,too bad i had to do all the cooking ', she teased softly and dana reached over and kissed her,
'stop whining my love,you know you like it,'
'true..too true' eve reached over and hugged her tight,
'i love you for it, and i am the lucky one..',
'i love you,' dana smiled sweetly at her.
Nto stood at the counter now and watched the whole scene,feeling a lump on the throat.
'ok people,get a room already!', she tried to sound unaffected,making everyone laugh and stepping over bleh and hina to sit next to her date, who made room quickly by the sofa.
'you took forever', she said holding her hand.
'i did? I wasn't aware, i hope you don't feel neglected'.
'not anymore, now that you are here'.
music played loudly in the lounge,as everyone drank and talked at the top of their voices,wanting to be heard yet not listening to one another, it was a good evening.

'i did? I wasn't aware, i hope you don't feel neglected'.
'not anymore, now that you are here'.

A dinner with friends
'you look great babe,now let's go please' eve was getting impatient with dana taking too long. They were to have dinner and drinks with bleh and hina and she didn't get why dana felt the need to change outfits several times.
'i just feel like looking glam tonight angel,stop rushing me,it's not helping'.
'fine...i'll just sit here and try not to carry you out of the house naked'.
'... Have you met hina before?' she shouted from the bedroom.
'we only had drinks awhile back,was with a friend and they came over...'
'what kinda person is she?'
'hmmm,you'll have to figure that one out yourself,i can't really say'
'you are hopeless...'she said,now out she leant her hand against the door panel and waited for eve to take it all in.
'wow...i have to say,the waiting was worth it,you look beautiful...' eve said feeling alittle mushy at how much she loved this woman.
'thank you..' dana blushed
She had finally decided on a short black dress that curved perfectly to her body and black pumps,it was so simple yet so stunning.
'i should be lucky to bring you back home tonight' she said jokingly.
'you are silly', dana Smiled shyly.
The evening went very well,they ate at a sushi place called fish and more and washed it all down with a light pinotage, which they drink later into the evening.
Everyone was charmed by hina,who seemed to be very taken with dana - a fact that didn't win her any points from eve or bleh for that matter, but they all brushed it off good naturedly and made light of the constant looks she kept throwing her way.
When the evening drew to a close,bleh did find herself enroute to hina's place,which was much closer than hers anyway.
What they felt for eachother was still very puzzling,they simply flowed with the fact that talking to eachother was very pleasant and they enjoyed eachother's sense of humour immensely.
Plus,bleh couldn't help but wonder how hina's lips tasted like,nor hina if bleh was as sensual as she gave off.
They hardly talked about spending the night together,it simply happened and their only part in destiny was letting it.
